Overton County kicks off the holiday season on the courthouse square at 5 p.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Featuring carriage and wagon rides, music, popcorn, hot cider, peanuts and hot chocolate, Christmas in the country is sure to get you in the spirit of the season. Stores stay open late, offering a chance to get a jump on shopping, and Santa is always there, working on his naughty and nice lists.
